FWIW, server-side copies are enabled by default since Samba 4.1.0. The
vfs_btrfs module only changes how such requests are handled by the
smbd file-server.
For details, see https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Server-Side_Copy

I expect this is due to the POSIX to Windows Access Control List mapping
behaviour. The Owner, Group and Other entries are always present in a
POSIX ACL. Samba maps these entries to NT ACL entries on retrieval.
The vfs_btrfs module doesn't intercept ACL retrieval/manipulation
requests, so you shouldn't see any difference from the default VFS in
this regard.
If you are seeing a difference, then please provide (level 10) debug
logs and corresponding network traces taken with and without vfs_btrfs
enabled.
Cheers, David
